One Day University presents Books and Films that Changed America  featuring Joseph Luzzi and Marc Lapadula

The Four Books that Changed America presented by Joseph Luzzi/Bard College.
What four books are a must for every lover of literature? How did each of these groundbreaking works, in its unique way "change America?"  Award-winning scholar and teacher Professor Joseph Luzzi will explore this question with participants in a presentation devoted to exploring the riches of literary expression. The world-renowned classics that will be discussed are Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and Joseph Heller's Catch 22.

Four Films that Changed America presented by Marc Lapadula/Yale University.
While most works of cinema are produced for mass entertainment and escapism, a peculiar minority have had a profound influence on our culture.  Whether intentionally or not, some movies have brought social issues to light, changed laws, forwarded ideologies both good and bad, and altered the course of American history through their resounding impact on society.  The four films discussed will be:  The Jazz Singer, I Am A Fugitive From a Chain Gang, The Graduate and Easy Rider.

Tickets are $119 and can be purchased by calling 1-800-300-3438 or on their website at www.onedayu.com.

Eissey Campus Theatre presents Arts in the Gardens: Modern Gentlemen
Individually, Landon Beard, Todd Fournier, and brothers Brian and Brandon Brigham were all in-demand singers prior to being brought together as a quartet by the legendary Frankie Valli.  For well over a decade, they’ve wowed audiences as the four voices alongside the rock & roll icon!  Together in the studio, they finely tuned their "signature sound" to iconic Frank Sinatra hits, blending the classic sounds of yesterday with today's modern style.  This discovery led to a cool new take on the American songbook to the popular hits of Pop, Rock, Jazz, and Doo Wop!  This dynamic quartet feels very fortunate to have worked alongside so many of the artists they celebrate and when The Modern Gentlemen take the stage, they bring their charm, high energy, and spot on vocals with harmonic perfection! Subscriptions for the Arts in the Gardens 4 show series are $140 orchestra / $120 balcony and are available now. Single Tickets are $40 orchestra / $30 balcony.

“During the late Sixties and early Seventies, Jimmy Webb was arguably the most successful mainstream songwriter alive, churning out sweeping, richly orchestrated hits for Glen Campbell, Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra, among others. Webb’s new memoir, The Cake and the Rain, follows his rise from Oklahoma preacher’s son to L.A. pop aristocrat. At the heart is his struggle to carve out his own identity as he lived a double life as a Middle American fixture with counter cultural artistic ambitions.” — Rolling Stone.  Tickets are $35-$50 and available on the MusicWorks website at www.musicworksconcerts.com.  Tickets can also be purchased by calling 1-800-595-4849.  Tickets will be available at the Eissey Campus Theatre ticket office beginning February 22.
